Description
Earn the NEW Peninsula Black Bear End to End Badge (Fundraising Badge is $30 for BTC members and $40 for non -members). Hike Peninsula in 8 hikes this summer!! June 1-5 and July 27-29, 2026. Separate registrations of June 1-5 and July 27-29. We will meet at 9:30am at Rush Cove Nature Reserve parking and shuttle to Lion's Head, McCurdy Dr Municipal Parking Lot and hike south back to Rush Cove. For July 28&29, we will meet at 7:30am and shuttle to the trail head. Itinerary with GPS coordinates will be sent one week prior to the hikes. Each if these hikes is 22-24kms.
Please arrive 15 minutes early each day to allow time to gear up and be ready to shuttle at posted times. Shuttling at the beginning of the day and one shuttle at end of each day to take morning drivers back to their cars, will be shared among all hikers. These start times allow hikers to travel the morning of the hike and finish mid-afternoon. Any parking fees will be shared equally by all hikers. For those booking accommodation, recommend staying near Wiarton.
I will do my best to obtain the new Black Bear End to End badges for those completing the Peninsula End2End and have ready to distribute on our last hike.
Hikers should bring layered clothing in case of cool, breezy or rainy days. Hikers should have hiking shoes/boots, poles, hat, raingear, sunblock, bug repellant, 2-3 litres of water and snacks/lunch. We will have 2 scheduled breaks each day. Anticipate 4 km/hr average pace including breaks, so please be honest with respect to your capability.
